Nice art. I think Orlando needs to pick a character he wants to spotlight.

"THE EXTREMISTS" part three! The Extremists now control a nation, and within its borders, all is ordered and protected - all but free will. But how do seven people, even the JLA, fight an entire country? And even if they could, no one can truly prepare for the catastrophic design Dreamslayer has in store for reality itself.

It would be a 7 but the art killed it. I wanted more from the league and the antagonist.

"THE EXTREMIST AGENDA" finale! The new JLA's first adventure comes to a (multiple-)earth-shattering conclusion as Batman and his team takes the fight directly to Lord Havok.

Kitaru reviewed Justice League of America #5 Apr 27, 2017
I will say this again, this is a comic that has a good writer, but a boring story. I don't think it is as bad as some of the people are describing it, but I think it has some inherent flaws. The issue seems weirdly paced at times, with it alternating between tones quickly. I enjoy the team dynamic, but wish the story was a bit stronger.

"HEART OF A BASTICH" part one! The JLA discovers a super arms dealer has transformed an entire city into his own massive militia force. And when the team can't liberate its citizens from the outside, they turn to their own legendary master of mass destruction...Lobo!

The art was good and it's always nice seeing the main man do his thing.

The pacing is slow but the characters are all interesting and they have their own voice.

"MYTHIC" part two! Aegeus's mythic horde continues to steamroll over the battered landscape of Penn City, and the only thing standing in their path is...the Atom?? Also: Lobo is laid out, his healing factor neutralized, and the only thing that could possibly save him requires a level of violence that we may not be allowed to print!

Jack's Yattering reviewed Justice League of America #6 May 20, 2017
While this may be my favorite issue of the series, that isn't saying much. Steve Orlando is capable of so much better (MIDNIGHTER is a must-read) but he is, definitely, one of the more uneven writers in comics (like Scott Lobdell
Mr. Orlando is capable of both great storytelling and terrible writing). Also, nothing against Andy MacDonald...I enjoyed his artwork well enough this issue...but more
